I was fortunate to be a part of Vanessa and Glen’s amazing San Francisco wedding earlier this year. They had their wedding reception at the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco. The ceremony was held at St. Mark’s Lutheran Church, just up the street from my house. Their wedding was amazing from start to finish! I love how they infused their pasion for all things Edwardian and baroque into their wedding decor. For example, Vanessa had her dress custom made for her by Claire Pettibone. Glen wore a custom tailored edwardian suit with velvet and asian silk. Their use of pastels, peacock feathers, gold… All of the venues had baroque architectural details as well. Their love for music, dancing and funky San Francisco vibes played a roll too. Magic Bus provided transportation for all of the guests to and from the ceremony. The tables at the reception were decorated with cookies, cakes, french macaroons, and pastries. You can never have too much desert! Here are photos from the day:

























































Thank you to my friends, Rob Van Harken and Matthias who helped photograph different parts of this wedding with me. You can see more photos in the slideshow, or on the proofing site as well. Cheers!

Thank you for sharing this. I truly enjoyed seeing one of the most beautiful weddings I didn’t attend.
The great part is that the blog made me feel that I did attend!
May the glow of this beautiful day stay with Sessa and Glen for the rest of their lives!
